Black Seed Oil Capsules 20% Thymoquinone – High-Potency Nigella Sativa Extract | 90 Vegan Caps

Nigella sativa — known across the world as Black Seed, Black Cumin, or Kalonji — has occupied a central position in traditional herbal medicine for thousands of years. From the ancient pharmacopoeias of Egypt to the recorded traditions of Islamic medicine and the botanical practices of Central Asia, this small black seed has been revered for its breadth of application and resilience as a wellness plant.

Modern phytochemical research has identified Thymoquinone (TQ) as the primary active compound responsible for the majority of Nigella sativa’s studied biological properties. Dr Gabriel’s® Black Seed Oil Capsules are built around this insight — delivering a 30:1 standardised extract with a guaranteed 20% Thymoquinone content, providing a precise 52mg of TQ in every single capsule.

 

What Makes This Capsule Different From Black Seed Oil?

Dr Gabriel’s® offers two distinct Nigella sativa formats — the cold-pressed extra virgin oil (250ml liquid) and these standardised extract capsules. They are not interchangeable — they serve different needs and deliver the active compound differently:

Feature	Black Seed Oil (Liquid)	Black Seed Capsules 20% TQ (This Product)
Format	Cold-pressed extra virgin oil, 250ml	30:1 standardised extract, 90 vegan capsules
TQ Content	Variable — whole-oil natural range	Guaranteed 20% TQ = 52mg per capsule
Taste	Strong, characteristic (peppery/bitter)	None — ideal for taste-sensitive users
Dosing precision	Tablespoon-based — variable	Exact: 1 capsule = 52mg TQ every time
Travel / convenience	Requires bottle, spoon	Pocket-sized, no preparation
Children (min. age)	From 6 years (paediatric guidance under 6)	From 12 years
Best for	Traditional use, whole-food approach, families	Precision supplementation, research-informed buyers

 

The Science Behind Thymoquinone (TQ)

Thymoquinone is a naturally occurring phytochemical — specifically a monoterpene ketone — found in the volatile oil of Nigella sativa seeds. It is the compound most extensively studied in the peer-reviewed scientific literature on black seed, with research exploring its antioxidant, hepatoprotective and immune-related properties.

A standardised extract with a guaranteed 20% TQ content ensures that every capsule delivers a consistent and meaningful dose of this compound — unlike raw black seed powder or non-standardised extracts where TQ content varies significantly by harvest, geography and processing method.

Supported Body Functions — Compliant Claims

The following functional statements are aligned with EU Regulation 1924/2006, traditional use evidence frameworks, and the body of published peer-reviewed scientific literature on Nigella sativa and Thymoquinone:

• Provides potent antioxidant protection — TQ and associated polyphenols contribute to the neutralisation of free radicals and protection of cells from oxidative stress
• Supports normal immune system function — consistent with the traditional use of Nigella sativa across multiple cultural systems for immune resilience and general vitality
• Contributes to normal energy metabolism — B vitamins (B1, B2, B3) naturally present in the seed matrix play an established role in normal energy-yielding metabolism
• Supports normal liver function — traditionally associated with hepatic wellness; in vitro research explores TQ and liver cell protection (informational context only)
• Supports normal digestive comfort — Nigella sativa has a multi-century traditional use record for gastrointestinal wellbeing across Islamic, Ayurvedic and Mediterranean traditions

Who Is This Product For?

• Research-informed buyers who want the highest standardised TQ concentration available — not just raw black seed powder
• Individuals who find the strong taste of black seed oil a barrier to consistent daily use
• Travellers and professionals requiring a compact, portable, mess-free supplement format
• Adults who prefer precise, consistent daily dosing over tablespoon-based measurement
• Current liquid Black Seed Oil users looking to combine or transition to a more concentrated capsule format

 

Particularly well-suited to: Emir persona (35–50, researches active ingredient concentrations, compares products critically, values standardisation and label transparency).

FAQ

What is Thymoquinone and why does the percentage matter?

Thymoquinone (TQ) is the primary bioactive compound in Nigella sativa (Black Seed), responsible for the majority of the plant’s studied antioxidant and immune-supporting properties. The percentage — in this case 20% — indicates the guaranteed TQ concentration in the standardised extract. A 20% TQ extract is significantly more potent than raw black seed powder or unstandardised extracts, where TQ content varies widely by batch and origin.

 

What is the difference between Black Seed Oil capsules and liquid oil?

Black Seed Oil liquid (cold-pressed, whole oil) provides the complete fatty acid and phytochemical profile of Nigella sativa in its most natural form — but with a strong taste and variable TQ content. Standardised capsules (30:1, 20% TQ) deliver a guaranteed, concentrated TQ dose with no taste, precise dosing, and superior portability. Neither is strictly ‘better’ — they suit different user needs and usage occasions.

 

How many Black Seed capsules should I take per day?

The standard adult daily dose is 2–3 capsules per day, taken with food. At 2 capsules daily, one pack of 90 capsules provides a 45-day supply. At 3 capsules, a 30-day supply. For long-term maintenance, 1–2 capsules per day is generally sufficient. Do not exceed 3 capsules per day without guidance from a healthcare professional.

 

Is Nigella sativa safe for long-term daily use?

Nigella sativa has a well-documented traditional use history spanning centuries, and standardised black seed extract is generally well tolerated by healthy adults at recommended doses. However, it is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with transplanted organs or autoimmune conditions, or children under 12. If you take prescription medications, consult your healthcare professional before use.

 

Why does this product contain rice flour?

Rice flour is used in a minimal quantity as a capsule-filling aid — a standard practice when the active ingredient volume is too small to fill the capsule shell completely without a binding agent. It is not a filler in the nutritional sense. The product contains no artificial binders, colours, preservatives, or other additives. Rice flour is gluten-free, vegan, and allergen-neutral.
